I love this soup. Been looking for one that doesn’t have tomatoes in it. And, the cabbage isn’t cooked to death but retains a slight crispness and brighter color. I love the simplicity of this recipe. This is a keeper, I’ve bookmarked this one. Thank you Jenny.

You do not boil the cabbage before adding it to the soup. You add it raw and only stir-fry it for one minute (step #2) and then when you add the liquid, the cabbage cooks up nice and soft in 10 minutes (step #4).

Thank you for such an easy and delicious recipe!! You are an incredible woman and cook, and I have completely enjoyed your videos and all the wonderful and down to earth advice for cooking. You never cease to just crack me up as well…what a sense of humor!! 🙂

Hi, Jenny! I recently had a heart attack and I am now modifying my diet to low sodium, etc. I LOVE cabbage and was wondering if I would get the same health benefits by using red cabbage? Would it taste any different? Thanks for all your wisdom and recipes!

Hey Steve. Years ago when I was on Weight Watchers I made the WW Vegetable Soup using Red Cabbage. The only thing I noticed was that it bled a bit into the soup. I never noticed any flavor difference from red cabbage at all. And it was just as hearty just red. Also with you on low sodium increase other spices or use Mrs. Dash to provide more flavor.

STUPID!?! EASY??! — Caught my attention! YES – cabbage soup is delicious. Love how naturally sweet cabbage becomes when cooked. My daughter was in a cooking contest during high school and one of the entries was a cabbage and chicken soup. Not something I thought I’d like at all However, it was incredible and stupid and easy. Looking forward to your recipe! P.S.y son is a Chef and he loved your “Artisan Bread” when I prepared it. I’ll be making it to accompany the soup!

Thnaks! I love cabbage so I will make this asap. My Mom used to make “New England boiled dinner with ham carrots potatoes onion and cabbage and I always loved the cabbage the best! Comfort food for me.

Hi Jenny, This recipe looks very delicious and healthy ! But i have one (1) question for you ; Are you going to make some more video on youtube or no more ??? I like to see some visual explanation for the recipes, to see you first and to have some ideas ! Anyway, have a wonderful week-en ahead !

I have the same question about you putting out some more videos. I’ve been waiting for a new one ever since I subscribed. You are very good in the videos and several of your recipes are regulars for me now. Please put out more videos. -from a Loyal Fan
